Episode 1: Spangler

Robert Spangler is one of the most unique serial killers that Jim and Kathy encountered in their careers in the Behavioral Analysis Unit. Spangler killed multiple wives and two of his children over the course of two decades, and had never even been considered a suspect in the death investigations. But then the FBI used criminal behavioral analysis to crack the cases all at once and get Spangler to confess to being a serial killer.©2024 Audible Originals, LLC (P)2024 Audible Originals, LLC

true experts give compassionate analysis

This is the real life version of the show Criminal Minds. These two experts are incredible. So many people in the “true crime”
genre act like fans or ghouls. These are experienced professionals who have seen things through their long careers and give detailed and thoughtful analysis of serious crimes and criminal behavior. I’m so impressed with their storytelling & compassion for the victims & affected communities. I also appreciate it when they have genuine emotion (like being angry) at these terrible circumstances. I feel better knowing people like this are fighting to solve & prevent crime and pursue justice. Their give and take in the dialogue is also respectful & honest. Highly recommend.

Chilling

This was bone chilling. To hear how detached people can be. They lay it out short but to the point.

Captivating

They kept it brief, but still managed to hold my attention. A decent amount of detail without bogging down in tireless minutia.

Insightful look behind the scenes

The stories are put together very nicely. The hosts put a lot of information into the episode in a timely manner. The only thing that is bothersome is any recordings from the episodes can't be heard very well. You're left guessing what was exactly said, etc. All around great podcast. Looking forward to more.

Inside Profiling

Great discussion of behind the scenes profiling. Kathy and Jim have a natural flow and know so much about the cases.
